Atmosphere is nice, not loud and the service was great. Food was delicious, we had the filet, ribeye and sides of cauliflower and potato puree. For dessert we had tiramisu, it was cake rather than your typical tiramisu.

Came here for the first time on 7/3. The ambiance, decor and staff are amazing. The service and friendliness of the staff is second to none. The food was amazing; presented very well, and unbelievably delicious. I’d be coming here every weekend if I didn’t live 3 hours away! Thank you for the great dining experience, will be back soon.

Absolutely phenomenal experience from the hostess to dessert! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. The staff was incredibly accommodating, polite and warm. Our server was Selena. Her service was literally perfection. Her beautiful smile, knowledge of the menu and attentiveness to making our dining experience flawless was second to none. The food was easily worthy of a 5 star rating. The steaks were a cut above, cooked to our specifications! The spicy Rigatoni Ala Vodka with Lobster was a culinary masterpiece, recommended highly. The Martini was blended so exquisitely, I had 2. My family shared the Fettuccine al Burro, perfectly prepared at our table in a cheese wheel by our waitress, further attesting to her level of professionalism. We did not eat, we truly dined. And do not miss dessert, the Chocolate Tortino is a new favorite! Cellaio is one of the best, if not the best restaurant I have ever been to. 5 stars from every angle.

How this place has a 3.9 is beyond me! But upon some investigation I saw a lot of disgruntled guest crying about “ rude “ staff or waiting too long or worse someone rating it on TAKE OUT! This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. People are so sensitive and think they are so important not one bad review on here is about the FOOOOOOD. We’ve been here several times and have tried everything. Don’t let a couple arrogant cry babies sway your decision on trying this restaurant.

I spent my birthday here and had an amazing experience, I never write reviews but I had to give them their flowers because I appreciate the friendly staff the fresh delicious food (ESPECIALLY THE CREAMY SPINACH) and when I got home I enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake I got to go…. Ohhhhh and they brought me out a nice sherbet shaped as a cupcake 🧁 for my birthday 🥳 it had a little candle in it 😊super sweet! I’m only ten minutes away so I’ll definitely be back

5 Stars All The Way! Aside from the wonderful ambiance, we were greeted and seated by a lovely gentleman named Zach. Our waiter Tim gave us excellent service while recommending a delicious wine called Montepulciano by La fiera (posted photo of bottle) . We ordered Pasta Pomo Doro upon Zach’s recommendation and we’re outrageously pleased . Aside from the pasta we order the loaded baked potato and the grilled Octopus. How can I even describe the two besides out of this world . I must say I have not had octopus like that in any restaurant in the loaded the loaded baked potato was outrageously delicious! Not only will we will be coming back but we are going to make sure to tell everyone about this wonderful restaurant at the Resorts World Casino!

I especially want to shout out the two managers, Zach and Ariana. They go above and beyond to make sure every guest has a great experience. They’re attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly, and you can see how well they lead the team.

This place truly deserves the 5 stars, we made Saturday night reservations and we're seated in a nice quiet area, although there were other parties present it was comfortable to have an initial conversation. We started with some cocktails that came reather quick and were made well and opted to try the Fritto Misto, which we both found to be very good. I opted for the surf and turf and my husband opted for the ribeye, with the a la carte options of the spinach, Mac and cheese and carrots. Everything was outstanding, cooked to perfection. We have never had Spinach made the way they presented it but it was so good that we told several family and friends about it. We had an amazing experience here and couldn't have picked a better choice when visiting.

Been here with my sister many times and always have a great experience. The past two times we had Miranda as our server who makes the experience even better. She is so kind and attentive.

Great place, but if Im paying 248.00 for a steak and a coke my drink should at least never go empty, unfortunately my drink was empty for most of the dinner. Steak was good, but no way it was 40oz. as Ive eaten many 40oz steaks around the country. Atmosphere was great, but its so dark you cant really read the menu in my opinion.

Rudy Rosique

We had Rudy as our waiter and he was absolutely on point the entire night. The drinks were also fantastic. My party had the lobster vodka pasta, steak, & lobster tail. The lobster tail was the best thing hands down. The pasta was loaded with lobster which made the price somewhat worth it. However, the pasta itself lack some flavor. For $60 I would expect a better tasting pasta. I didn't try the steak but was told it hasn't bad at all. Pull apart rolls as the appetizer was pretty good as well.

I don’t even know where to start- the bread!! Dipped in the balsamic vinegar and oil, had to have more. Cocktails excellent! Food excellent! Decor, Excellent! Don’t wait, make your reservation and go. A diamond 💎 see you soon. I wish I could talk about dessert but we didn’t have room.

I liked everything about the atmosphere and service. I enjoyed my meal and especially the drink Moscato. The only complaint I have is my partner ordered his steak well done and the chef made it medium rear. Besides that the meals were delicious and our waitress was polite and attentive.

The fettuccine mixed in the Parmigiano Reggiano whole wheel is delicious! Our waitress, Amber, was amazing as well. She was accommodating and handled a 6-person table well. She recommended good vegetarian options in the menu. Thank you!

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner here tonight. The waitstaff was amazing, Salina was a de-light, professional, helpful and friendly. Our food was top notch, Wagu, carrots and the pasta! Wine, dessert and coffee a perfect ending to a fabulous meal. Our only criticism is that we arrived early for our reservation to have a drink at the bar and were ignored for over 15 minutes and when we were finally acknowledged it was not friendly or welcoming, we didn’t even get to order a drink. Rough start for the evening but once we were seated Salina saved the evening with her demeanor and the food was very good.

I have to say for the price that was paid for the food and who owns the place the food should not been spectacular. Pasta was undercooked and $100 steak was way too chewy.

Waiter was great. Place is pretty. Crab cake was very good. Garlic bread was good. My husband had the zuppa di pesce. He said it was very good, but he was sick all night after he had it. I had the tagliatelle bolognese and it was too salty. The chocolate mousse are was O good.

The hostess was super nasty. She couldn't even look up when I was asking questions. I sat at the bar to eat. The bartender was great and the guys running back and forth with the menu items are super nice and helpful. Food was amazing, I had shrimp cocktail salad and the Halibut. Excellent. I would've given a 5 star, but to be honest the hostess left a sour taste in my mouth.

Dined here for the first time. After being seated it took a while to get the order taken. The plates arrived 45 minutes after the order was taken. $160 Porterhouse arrived cold and undercooked. This place has to do better. Not worth the $. There are many other reputable steakhouses.

Well…so disappointed. Showed up 15 minutes early for our reservation. Hostess (sorry to say she looked seriously disbelieved and not “fine dining” put together) asked us to have a seat as we were early. No problem. Well 15 minutes early turned into a 30 minute wait to be seated. Hostess was MIA. And when she finally did pop back to seat us (with a major case of RBF) she all but ran ahead of us to the table, dropped the menus and disappeared-even before all of us got to the table. *sign* oh well. We’ve eaten there before (sat at the bar and everything was delicious and service from the bartender was spectacular). Well she must’ve set the tone….took almost 10 minutes for our waiter to come over and when he did he was nice but a little odd (he was sweaty and rattled off his memorized script of his menu favorites and specials kinda roboty-but he was nice) but he did seem to want to rush us-we ordered our appetizers and he asked us several times if we wanted to put our entrees in even when we said we were t really ready. *sigh*. At least the food should be good. Eh. Runner was weird annd unsure where things should go-no big deal except when we tried to guide him to putting the right food in front of the right person he seemed a little “dazed and confused”. Ordered the Seafood Frite-YUMMY!!!! BUT the dirty dishes were left on the table until food arrived-despite our waiter coming to refill our drinks-piled them up to give him a hint. Caesar salad—have gotten better at TX Roadhouse. Breadbasket—Cisco rolls?! Eesh. Two skirt steaks-delish! Linguine Vongole-bleh (and to boot no spoon, no extra bowl or dish for shells-even when asked for) fettucini Alfredo made table side - fun but seriously lacking any flavor and for $48 totally not worth it at all. Creamed Spinach-this is the dish that beckoned our return visit…boo! Was on the low side of OK. Applebees kinda level. All in all not a horrible experience but really subpar dining masked as a fine dining experience …had there been good service the snag food probably would’ve been overlooked some or had the food been stellar the poor service wouldn’t have mattered so much. This place and the staff from hostess to waitstaff to kitchen needs an overhaul and some retraining or something. Definitely not worth my 20% mandatory included gratuity on our over $400 bill. Expected a higher caliber of service and flavor from a restaurant with Scott Conant’s name on it. The whole experience was the equivalent of Scott being served raw red onion over and over. Def needs to do better.

Really disappointing…. We have eaten here several times and never had a bad experience the clientele has always been well dressed and “professional” but this time the restaurant was full of drunk gamblers dressed like they’re going to the mall. We literally waited 20 minutes even though we had a reservation and then ended up being seated next to the bar perfect spot for a quiet anniversary dinner. The topper was a guest rushing past our table and then vomiting on the floor on his way to the men’s room. He comes out of the men’s room and proceeds to orders another round of drinks for the table. After the vomit it was only a minor irritation for the mandatory 27% tip that was added to our bill…. Insane!!! Definitely will not be back. EVER
